Thin Air Zone

A spendthrift heiress who loves shopping x an extreme sports enthusiast.

Mu Nai will never forget the first time she met Sheng Xi.

It was an incredibly...

embarrassing chance encounter.

On a scorching summer afternoon, Mu Nai, a professional spender out for some fun, suddenly decided to strike a deal. She gave a newly acquired black card to Sheng Xi, an extreme sports enthusiast she'd run into in an alley, fresh from a jump off the Siduhé Bridge.

Their friends were stunned when they heard Sheng Xi was being "kept." Yuan Kun was especially heartbroken. He asked at the top of his lungs, practically jumping up and down, "What on earth do you see in that spendthrift?"

Sheng Xi lounged on the sofa, his long lashes stirring as he replied in a languid, even tone, "I like that she's rich."

Mu Nai thought that a man like Sheng Xi, with his pretty face and his lack of any proper job, might be useful, but was also dangerous. So if she could solve a problem by throwing money at it, then it wasn't a problem at all.

Until one day, she happened to visit her father's office and happened to find a contract.

At the bottom of the company's acquisition and transfer agreement was the acquiring shareholder's signature: Sheng Xi.

Mu Nai: "...Same name, different person, right?"

One day, Mu Nai happened to watch a short video online. That night, nestled in Sheng Xi's arms, she acted coyly. "I want to hear cheesy pickup lines, like 'You're my heart and my liver.'"

Sheng Xi rubbed his chin against the top of Mu Nai's head. After a long pause, he drawled, "You're my... oxygen tube."

Mu Nai: "...What the heck?" An oxygen tube?

Mu Nai didn't know that Sheng Xi had climbed Mount Everest, reaching places where the air was thinnest, and experienced the breathlessness of being near death.

But back then, on the Siduhé Bridge, the moment Sheng Xi watched Mu Nai leap down,

he discovered that even when a person stood safely on the ground,

someone else could still stop their heartbeat and steal their breath.

He wasn't short of oxygen.

He'd simply forgotten how to breathe.

Drunk at the dinner table, Mu Nai announced that she'd gotten herself an extreme sports enthusiast.

When Sheng Xi got word, he carried her home and tossed her onto the bed. His captivating eyes fixed on her as he began slowly undoing his shirt cuffs.

Mu Nai rubbed her feet against the floor and inched backward. "Um, I was wrong. Let's talk this out."

Sheng Xi raised an eyebrow. "You did nothing wrong. I just forgot I have to take responsibility for my sugar mommy."

Reader's guide:

1. She tries her best to show off every day, and he tries his best to pretend he's broke.

2. This is a silly story, a sweet romance with a slice-of-life focus.

3. This isn't a professional extreme sports story, so there may be some inaccuracies.

Warnings:

A slow-burn, pampering romance. The male lead does extreme sports as a hobby. He's the kind who doesn't care about his life, just the thrill.

The female lead is a bit of a spoiled princess and loves spending money (for a reason). If money can solve it, she won't waste time complaining.

And neither of them is easy to handle.
